Recommend movies!
I need to put more movies on our netflix queue. Any suggestions?
Re: Recommend movies!
What are some movies you like so I can get an idea of your taste?
If you haven't seen it yet, Enemy at the Gates is one of my all-time fav's
Did you know they made an off-broadway musical of that? Only in place of the sex scenes they had musical numbers. I never saw it, but a friend of mine was an usher for it. Sherri Reni Scott was in it, I think.
I didnt know this but thanks for the info. I can't wait to pass along this information. Can you imagine me bringing this up at Thanksgiving?? LOL!!
My movie tastes are pretty varied, but I hate typical chick flicks with a passion.
My favorite movie in recent years is probably Capote. Or Little Miss Sunshine.
Edit: I did not like Juno, but loved Superbad. Hated Walk the Line. Loved The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
Recent ones I liked: Great Debaters, the Bucket List
Older ones: 300, Elizabeth (loved the first one, the sequel was ok), Casino Royale
TV Series: Mad Men, 24 (seasons 1-5), John Adams, Tudors, Rome
Sci-fi: Jumper
Comedies: Napoleon Dynamite, Knocked Up
Action: The Jason Bourne series
You might like Grandma's Boy. Not an intellectual flick, but really funny and Jonah Hill is in it.
ETA: I recently saw The Pursuit of Happiness and Freedom Writers and liked both of those a lot too.
Have you seen Walk Hard? It basically just makes fun of Walk the Line, obviously. Similar in style and cast to Talledega Nights. I liked it, but I like just about everything.
Chick flicks with an edge (sort of): Secret Lives of Dentists, Little Children
In Bruge (freakin hilarious)
Little Miss Sunshine
Dan In Real Life
Knocked Up
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Transformers
How I Met Your Mother (TV Series)
Thanks for the reccs - keep them coming! Unfortunately, I've already seen almost everything recommended.
Dev - either we have the exact same taste in movies or you've figured out mine perfectly (with the exception of How I Met your Mother).
I really liked Capote too.
I also really liked Atonement and Life is beautiful (but you have to get this in Italian and read the subtitles - wouldn't recommend the English version).
For funny/chick flicks, I really liked Sex and the City, 40 year old virgin and 27 dresses.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall was my favorite movie of the year.
If you haven't seen Big Love, start it!
lol @ meredith. you're a mess!
recent rentals, i've enjoyed: Gone Baby Gone, The Lives of Others and La Vie En Rose (while all are great films, they're downers, especially the last two)
so, to offset all that, H and i just put Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo in our queue!
LOL We must have the same taste! Those were some of my favorite movies of the last couple of years. I did like Juno though...
If you like affected foreign films, see Ponette. It's a French movie and about a little girl whose mother dies. It's really cute and sweet and poignant.
My favorite movie as a child was Shining Through. It has Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffith. It's a WWII spy movie romance. I loved it. It came out when I was like 9, and I BEGGED my parents to let me see it. They did, and it was awesome.
Other than that, I have nothing to recommend that hasn't been said or isn't obvious. I do ditto Mad Men & Big Love, though.
Oh yes, I must ditto Harold and Kumar (one and two!). Good stuff.And I enjoyed Tropic Thunder (but it's not out yet, I think).
Movies to avoid: Batman, Pineapple Express, Step Brother, Assisnation of Jessie James.
Bella - soo good.
If you've never seen it, Once. I hate musicals but love love loved it.
And gypsy, H and I just had a Harold & Kumar marathon since I'd never seen either, and I thought the second was wayyy worse than White Castle. Boo.
Wanted to add Where in the World is Osama Bin Ladin, I really enjoyed the documentary.
LOL... I saw Pineapple Express 2 weeks ago and loved it.
Um... I've seen it twice, currently have it on the queue, have the soundtrack, and went to see them in concert.
That's my favorite book! I haven't seen the movie yet, though. I am irritated that everyone knows it now when it was *my* favorite book way before the movie. It's MINE!
Loved Once!! Totally forgot about that.. Such a great movie.
If you like affected foreign films, see Ponette. It's a French movie and about a little girl whose mother dies. It's really cute and sweet and poignant.
Ditto bunny... AWESOME movie. We don't watch a lot of foreign movies because H hates subtitles, but here are some reccs:
Jeux d'enfants (or Love Me If You Dare - in English for some reason). It has the chick from La Vie en Rose and is such a sweet quirky love story.
Jean de Florette & Manon des Sources are great, also. A little bit slow, but so awesomely tragic.
Au Revoir Les Enfants -- so powerful. About young boys in a boarding school during WWII.
damn. i was really looking forward to it this week too. ah well. tho white castle was hilarious. maybe we'll get that one too for old times sake.
